Continuing on with my current love of crafty jigsaw puzzles, this is Eurographics' Sewing Room, with beautiful artwork by fantasy artist Ciro Marchetti!
Although they're really not at all similar, it reminded me of a Dimensions Gold kit I've always liked called Maggie the Messmaker (with artwork by the late Charles Wysocki):
Both feature a mischievous cat let loose in a craft room, lying next to a beautiful vintage sewing machine. I'm not a cat owner (fiercely allergic in fact) but cats and creative pursuits just seem to compliment each other - most of the crafters I follow online have feline "helpers" who adorably lend a paw (or two) in photos 😸
I absolutely loved putting this 1000 piece puzzle together, the colours are so vibrant:
I really liked the other crafts included: the patchwork pillows, the balls of wool and knitting needles, the pretty floral hats and the tatted lace doilies. The rolls and bolts of fabric were especially fun to put together. The portraits of two lady seamstresses were a lovely touch. And there are all kinds of cute little details - I especially loved this little mouse sneaking up on the sleeping cat:
The pieces are a regular grid design but fit together very nicely. I highly recommend this one, and it would make a lovely gift for that crafty puzzler in your life 😊
Do you craft with help from a pet?
Because of the pandemic a lot of businesses have lost profit, while others have gained. There is definitely a boom in crafts, gardening, DIY, reading, movies and - jigsaw puzzles! These crafty ones are very attractive. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's certainly true. And the losses are terrible. But I am so glad that so many people are discovering, or rediscovering, crafts - and jigsaw puzzles 😃 Glad you enjoy seeing them!
